Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …

Movie : World of Silence

The flight of the phoenix movie

This is definitely not one of Robert Aldrich’s …
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
“Mrs. Henderson Presents” was another one of those movies that disappeared from the large screen before I had a chance to see it. I suspect this is true for many people. That’s a pity because “Mrs. Henderson Presents” is a charming, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling both …

Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …
Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
Ice age 2 movie
Ice Age 2 the meltdown is the best movie for families, that has come out this year. I was laughing from beginning to end. They really do pick up where they left off from the last movie. My kids just loved it and I did not …

Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
Dukes of Hazzard
From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.
Well, I did wind up watching it and was surprised at just how funny it was.
The Dukes of Hazzard is an entertaining film that essentially spoofs the television series …

Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.
I still remember the crowd’s reactions that night.
Now, after …

Wild Card is the latest offering from Jason Statham, and sees him once again partnered with director Simon West. This movie is much more low key than the soon to be released Furious 7, but it does boast a respectable cast (including Stanley Tucci and Michael Angarano amongst others) as …
Blue Jasmine: A Movie
A few nights ago, my husband and I were watching television when he stumbled across Blue Jasmine on HBO. I had never seen it before, but he had seen it and thought that I would like it. I can’t claim to be a huge Cate Blanchet fan, but I …
Do The Right Thing movie
This is a film by the talented Spike Lee and in my opinion his best film to date. A film about rascism and prejudice, how the true nature of these issues actually looks like. Spike Lee doesn’t choose his side here. All fractions of a society in america are …
Happy Feet The Movie
My children love Happy Feet. They watched it so much it stopped working so I had to buy them a new one. My son really loves the extra features where they teach the children how to tap dance, my son is only one years old but its …

Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
First Sunday
What would you do if you wanted cash in hand in a fast manner? Rob a bank or break in a house? Good idea only in “First Sunday” the actors, Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan came up with a better idea - to robe a church!

Final Destination movie
First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …
Middlemarch (1994), a movie
This beautifully made movie has too many different storylines and subplots to mention them all, so I will only describe several. Dorothea (Juliet Aubrey), a beautiful gentlewoman, is not vain like so many of her class, she has the desire to be of use, to do something good for …
Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
Finding Neverland movie

The main character writes a play, called Peter Pan, which is mostly based on the boys’ playtimes and made up stories he tells the boys …
Men In Black
The original Men In Black was an excellent comedic action movie and a welcome twist on the all to common genre of alien movies. The comedy throughout this movie was real comedy, not the non-stop attempts at slapstick or idiotic humor that have begun to plague comedies as of …

Carousel movie
Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …
Movie Death Race
A movie I just finished watching about three minutes before I decided to write a review about, Death Race was quite a well executed watch.

In the movie Faithful Unto Death, the whole …

Days of being wild movie
The chinese director Wong Kar-Wai is my absolute favorite to appear during the last 20 years. Days of being wild is only his second film ever, made in the early 1990s, but already here he showed his amazing talent with an entirely unique way of putting images together and …

Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe is a 2015 Chinese 3D adventure action film directed and co-written by Lu Chuan. The film is an adaptation of Tianxia Bachang’s 2006 best-selling novel Ghost Blows Out the Light.

Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …
Kama Sutra movie
My wife and I are always looking for ways to keep the spark in our love life lit. This includes watching “instructional” videos and learning new techniques in the bedroom.

Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
